About Me

Backfoot Trailer currently consists of Drew Kirby on vocals/bass, Trevor Coen on guitar/vocals, Craig Little on drums, and Ryan Moran on guitar.

Here's the facts: We're not incredibly talented. We're not incredibly original. We're not full time musicians. We're not even old enough to drive. Then what are we, you may ask?

We are Backfoot Trailer, a pop-punk/alternative rock band hailing from Marietta, Georgia. Drew and Trevor started BFT at the tender ages of 12 and 13 when they both found a mutual interest in pop-punk music, making noise, and failing miserably. In our first year as a band, we went through multiple lineup changes while honing our instumental skills and improving our songwriting abilities. We then solidified our band in early 2007 with the addition of Craig Little on drums, and settled on our current lineup in late 2008 after adding Ryan Moran to the band on guitar.

We began playing shows in 2006 and have been hitting the local scene with furiously mediocre performances ever since! We've played to crowds of over 500 as well as crowds of less than twenty. We try to make up for our lack of sufficient talent by having notably entertaining stage presence; thus, we spend atleast half of every show airborne.

We released our first cd in 2006, an (awful) EP, a 2nd (slightly better) EP in 2007, and our 1st full-length album on May 19th, 2008. In the future, we will putting out yet another independently release EP, playing many more shows, and going wherever this band will take us. We're not in it for money; we broke! We don't have a marketing gimmick; we're not a "kid band". We're just four fun-loving teenagers who love to play music.

Sounds Like: A) If an Enema-era blink-182 met a Dookie-era Green Day, and went out on a double date with a Take This To Your Grave-era Fall Out Boy and Four Year Strong!

B) High energy, low talent, with a few breakdowns thrown in here and there for good measure :D
Record Label: none
